a trip down memory lane

Yesterday, I went in search of a past “love letter” from Bryan for a project. Of course, as per the norm when I pull out that shoebox with all of our letters from basic and tech school, I get teary eyed reading them and spend way more time then anticipated. One though, stands out and Bryan gave his blessing to post it ( good luck deciphering it though :). This was what you could call, the start of “us”. I remember getting this letter and being ecstatic and sad at the same time. Ecstatic to say yes, sad that I couldn’t call him and tell him yes (he was still in basic).

Do you keep things like this and ever take trips down memory lane? I am an EXTREME minimalist, but these are one of the few things, that I could never part with.

Aww!! I had tears in my eyes, at one point, while reading this letter. I also kept EVERY letter that William wrote me during basic and Tech school … and he did the same. I have actually kept (almost) ever email from the other 2 deployments … and now on our 3rd deployment it’s the same thing. :) Blessings to you all!
